Birthday Louboutins

Not only did my birthday week bring on the start of another year, it also brought a major moment in every woman’s life: my first pair of really nice heels.

Ready to treat myself, I headed off to shop for Louboutins with my stylist (aka Kendall). I wanted black ones so that they would be in style forever, but there were still so many to choose from! I selected four pairs and began trying them on.

Wondering why the soles are red?

“The shiny red color of the soles has no function other than to identify to the public that they are mine. I selected the color because it is engaging, flirtatious, memorable and the color of passion.” – Christian Louboutin

I can certainly get behind that!

After walking down the runway several times (and by that I mean pacing the floor of the store) I knew which pair I had to choose. These beauties:

As the philosopher Christian Louboutin said, “The woman carries the clothes, but the shoe carries the woman.” And I could see these shoes carrying me everywhere!

Wondering if they’re comfortable? Don’t ask Christian!

“I hate the whole concept of comfort! You’re abandoning a lot of ideas when you are too into comfort. ‘Comfy’ – that’s one of the worst words! I just picture a woman feeling bad, with a big bottle of alcohol, really puffy. It’s really depressing, but she likes her life because she has comfortable shoes.” – Christian Louboutin

Or the shorter, “I would hate for someone to look at my shoes and say, ‘Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'” – Christian Louboutin
